You Hit My Heart
Chapter 1711: Sure Enough, Concrete Evidence

Chapter 1711: Sure Enough, Concrete EvidenceJoyce rubbed her sleepy eyes. She glanced at the sleeping Anderson,lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and quietly made her way to the livingroom.

"Oh, you called me in the middle of the night just for this?" she askedcalmly.

Kane's voice sounded even more urgent on the phone. "Sis, you soundso calm. Do you already know? Could it be that the reports are true?How is that possible? You've only returned to Khebury recently, and Mr.Warner is already having an affair?"

Joyce turned on the corner lamp in the living room and sat on thecouch. “I don't know. I just heard it from you."

"Where is Mr. Warner? Don't you want to ask him? Is he with you?Wake him up and ask him. If it's a misunderstanding, clarify it early on.Don't let the news break tomorrow morning,” Kane urged anxiously."He's not at home; he hasn't come back these past few days," Joycepondered for a moment. "What do the reports specifically say? Haveyou seen the so-called concrete evidence?"

Kane quickly replied, “I haven't seen the articles or the evidence. Butthey say it's solid and believable. Sis, the news is too big, and I don'thave the power to suppress it entirely. I can control the mediacontrolled by the Zuo family, but the source of this news isn't on myside. If Mr. Warner were to personally address it, maybe the news couldbe suppressed. That's why I called you urgently. It's three in themorning, but there's still time."

Pausing for a moment, he cautiously probed, "What... what do youthink? Why hasn't Mr. Warner come back these past few days? I know Ishouldn't ask, but I'm really worried about you. I can hardly believe it.""Heh heh. If you can't believe it, then don't. Don't worry, there's nothingfor you to be concerned about,” Joyce poured herself a glass of water."There's no need to suppress the news. Let the media expose it.Tomorrow, I'll see how the gossip magazines write about it."

"Ah! Sis, what exactly are you thinking?" Kane expressed hisconfusion.

"Kane, in any case, you don't need to worry about this matter. I havemy own plans. Trust me; I will handle it," Joyce looked at the time andsaid, "It's too late now. I'll go back to sleep for a while, and you shouldrest as well. Pretend you don't know about this.”

"Alright," Kane's voice sounded conflicted. "Sis, are you really okay withthis? Do you know something?"

"l don't know the details, but I believe in him. Please believe in him too.Kane, I have a favor to ask. If anyone from JK Intelligence or myparents asks you about this matter, tell them that we're aware of thesituation and that it was deliberately orchestrated with a purpose.Please assure them not to worry, especially Juanita. She will digdeeper, so remember not to say anything wrong."

"Okay. I understand,” Kane sighed on the phone.

“I'm hanging up if there's nothing else," Joyce said.

"Sis, please take care of yourself,” Kane gave one final reminder. "Ifyou encounter any difficulties, let me know. I'll do my best to help you."“I know. Look at you, so young and already so verbose," Joycechuckled as she ended the call. "Goodbye."

Once she hung up, she placed her phone aside and leaned against thecouch, crossing her arms. Her expression was hidden in the dimness,making it difficult to discern. She didn't know what she was thinking, butshe remained unusually calm.

She glanced at her phone a few times, but the dark screen never lit upagain. Luther hadn't contacted her, disappearing without a trace.Quietly sipping her tea, she breathed evenly, her emotions undisturbed.She sat for about half an hour.

Joyce slowly got up and returned to bed.

Anderson turned over, causing the blanket to slip off. She reached outto cover him, lying down and hugging him as they continued to sleep.Surprisingly, she slept soundly throughout the night without waking upagain.

It was as if all the worries that had lingered for so long had finally beenexposed, giving her a sense of relief.

She slept deeply until the urgent knocking on the door sounded in themorning.

"General, wake up. Sorry for the disturbance, but we need you to getup,” Darrin's anxious voice came from outside the door.

Anderson was actually awakened by Darrin first. He sat up andchecked the time. It was around 7 a. m., and it was about time to getup.He nudged Joyce, who was still asleep. "Mummy, Uncle Darrin iscalling you."

Only then did Joyce wake up groggily. She held Anderson and got outof bed. After getting up, she replied, "I know, give me five minutes."Darrin immediately responded, "Okay."

Joyce quickly freshened up and helped Anderson freshen up as well.She opened the door, and Darrin was waiting outside. Joyce handedAnderson over to Mr. Arnold and instructed him, “Anderson, go havebreakfast with Mr. Arnold and then go to school. Uncle Darrin and Ihave something to discuss.”

Anderson nodded obediently. "Okay."

He understood that something must have happened; otherwise, UncleDarrin wouldn't have come to knock on Mummy's door so early in themorning. That had never happened before. But after going through somuch, he had learned to stay calm.

Dealing with one thing at a time, he trusted Mummy and Daddy to replacea solution.

After Anderson left, Joyce followed Darrin to the sitting room.

"What's going on? Tell me," Joyce asked calmly.

"At 6:30 a. m., the news broke, involving Mr. Warner. You need to takea look," Darrin furrowed his brow, his face tense. "I was shocked when Isaw it, so I rushed over to tell you.”

With that, Darrin handed Joyce his iPad and opened the news page.“It's the headline on every website. Almost all of them have reports.Now, trying to suppress it is almost impossible, and many people havealready seen it. What should we do?" Darrin's face was tense.

Joyce sat on the couch in the sitting room and accepted the iPad fromDarrin. The eye-catching headline made her eyes light up.

"First Love Returns with a Bang, Concrete Evidence of Mr. Warner'sAffair?!"

Her slender fingers lightly scrolled on the screen as she brieflyskimmed through the news. Aside from the exaggerated wording, therewere also several pictures. Although they were all of the figures’ backs,they clearly captured the profiles of Luther and a woman. One of thephotos showed Luther slightly turning his head, revealing his perfectlysculpted cheek.

It was indeed concrete evidence.

Joyce chuckled coldly. "You see, Christian was indeed hidingsomething from me yesterday. His sister, Athena, didn't die.”

Darrin nodded. "That was my first thought when I saw it too. First lovemust be referring to Athena. Ten years ago, she didn't die after fallingoff the cliff. Now she has returned. So, these past few days, Mr. Warnerhas been with her? General, what do you plan to do?"
